The Intel Core i9-12900KS has been on the market for a few weeks now and is, at least on paper, actually just an even more highly selected variant of the i9-12900K with a slightly higher clock and base power out of the box. Enthusiasts argue about whether this is a sensible expansion of the product portfolio. Overclockers are naturally keen on the [...]
Today’s article is not a test, but actually just a teaser and I’ll explain why right away. Yes, I signed the NDA and meanwhile I also have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, this is not a usual (rotation) sample from AMD, but a real retail CPU and bought myself. For this reason, too, I find myself somewhat conflicted. Actually, I wanted to [...]
Even though AMD has not explicitly sampled the new old Ryzen CPUs with Zen3 core, many of the new CPUs have already reached retailers. The top model, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (8 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.5 GHz, 4 MiB L2 cache, 96 MiB L3 cache) should become available in rather homeopathic doses with an MSRP of about 450 dollars. Our own inquiry to [...]

Today we continue with our Z690 motherboard reviews, with the Asus Maximus Z690 Apex. Not only the naming convention has changed compared to the predecessor models, because besides DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and the LGA1700 socket, there are unfortunately also a few teething troubles that I would like to address in advance, if not have to. Preface: Silicon [...]
We recently already tested the Dominator Platinum RGB modules from Corsair, but not yet in the SKU with 6200 Mbps and Hynix M-Die ICs. Today, that is changing. Besides the usual tests, a teardown and overclocking, we also compare the modules with the mentioned Samsung B-Die based variant and RAM sticks from other manufacturers, but with identical [...]
Due to the great response to our article "On the hard BIOS-Tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash", in which we were already able to clarify what Nvidia does not give us this time, our author lays again and even put himself in front of the camera! And it doesn't always have to [...]
At the moment Yuri is doing well under the circumstances and he already wrote you in his letter that he tries to compensate many of the current events by work, as long as electricity and bombardment by Russian bombs and missiles allow it. However, he will continue to work as long as he is able and also impement Zen 4 in Hydra. Zen 4 also supports [...]

What do you do with two Core i9-12900K trays? That’s right, binning! Today we have a very special treat for you from the south of Germany. The system integrator MIFCOM has kindly provided us with a large amount of Alder Lake i9 CPUs so that we can put them through their paces and examine them for differences in clock speed. Originally, the [...]
The occasion is sad enough, but today I would like to let my friend Yuri speak, who despite the siege and large-scale destruction of his hometown Kharkiv by the fascist invaders under the orders of Putin has not lost his courage. He has taken the time, despite all adverse circumstances and dangers, to address to you, as readers of this site and [...]

Umbrella Corporation meets Cooler Master and mATX: MasterCase TD300 Mesh Review including a case mod
The TD300 Mesh is Cooler Master’s new mATX case and thus the little brother of the popular TD500 Mesh ATX. The name also hides why the case is so popular, because with its mesh front, the case offers good ventilation and promises a lot of fresh air inside the case. And thus a better heat exchange. The TD300 Mesh is available in two versions: [...]
While with Intel’s previous Z590 generation MSI’s Unify-X was the last of the motherboards I tested, we turn the tables on this generation with the new Alder Lake CPUs. The MSI MEG Z690 Unify-X, as it is called with its full name, is a motherboard with a strong focus on overclocking and only 2 DIMM slots, but with its price it can also [...]

Teamgroup is a known brand in the memory market and not only since DDR5. Today we’re looking at one of their more cost-effective product lines of the new RAM standard, in the form of a VULCAN DDR5-5200 2x 16 GB kit. In addition to testing in XMP, we will of course overclock the kit manually again and find out how close you can get to faster [...]
Now we’re going full speed ahead! The already insane 208 LEDs of the 5000T are now joined by another 162 LEDS with the LC100 Case Accent Lights including expansion set. Thanks to the hinge-like magnetic connectors, the flexible triangles can take on all sorts of interesting shapes and, of course, glow in every color imaginable. Read what you [...]
We already had all the relevant information about the Ryzen 6000 for mobile use at CES, but AMD has now added some more details. Zen3+ features the improved Zen 3 cores with up to 5 GHz clock and a new RDNA 2 graphics with a targeted doubling of performance. The whole thing is manufactured in TSMC’s N6 and also features a completely new [...]
You can’t get enough of RGB lighting and are looking for a new top class case? Then the new Corsair 5000T could be the fulfillment of your dreams. The case comes with more than 200 LEDs, and I can already tell you that it is absolutely convincing from a technical point of view. However, you can read more about the small catch in the test [...]
